Abstract
Methods and systems for providing congestion-based scheduling in a network, based on device capabilities are provided. A method begins with receiving, from a first user device, a device capability message, wherein the device capability message comprises a number of receive antennas of the first user device for each supported frequency band. Next, a determination that the number of receive antennas of the first user device is not equal to the number of receive antennas required by the network operator for the assigned frequency band. Based on the determining, the method continues with prioritizing at least one downlink transmission to at least one second user device. The at least one second user device comprises the number of receive antennas required by the network operator for the assigned frequency band. The prioritization information is then transmitted to the first user device and the at least one second user device.
